I wouldn't be concerned about these speakers being stereo or mono because those advertised stereo sound mono regardless as the two drivers are to close to hear any stereo separation.. If you want stereo with these little units purchase 2 with a connect feature and combine them to here real stereo seperation.
Really insane! The EarFun sounds so much more natural than the JBL, even at high volumes! Even the treble is more clear, even and airy, despite the full-range speakers and missing tweeter in comparison.
Happy to see you back brother! Hoping to see you make a review and do a rematch between Budget Wireless Earbuds vs Airpods Gen 3 Soundpeats Air 3 Deluxe HS has LDAC and I wonder how will that make a difference compared to the last match up you made. I hope Soundpeats sponsor you!
@@pickyaudio Thank you for granting the request! Can't wait to watch it! I also want to know your thoughts about the issue with the Apple Airpods Pro that their ANC is getting worse and worse overtime. I think that could shake up your ANC ranking The video I'm referencing about is (Is Apple Making its Noise Cancelling Worse?) by Waveform clips. I think it's all over the internet forums. Would love to see your take on those too if you have time 😀
Great comparison Picky👏👏. The outdoor mode on the Uboom really stands out👍. Both are great at their perspective price point! But the fact that you can get two Earfuns , and have a sweet stereo setup. All for the price of one JBL is just amazing! 👌 Thank you for well thought comparison Sir😊✌✌
This comment is for people who get the speaker in the future. Check which firmware version it has by pressing the BT & power button and a voice should tell you. 041 to 048 have Oluv's tuning. Anything below does not and you will have to manually update the firmware. This happened with units released Jun '22. Ones released a few months later should already have it They have released a new version 050 with more bass. This version was released by Earfun without informing Oluv and isn't balanced like the earlier ones. It was released because some people wanted more bass and did not like his flat tuning.
That's good to know but disappointing if considering purchasing one from the Earfun website. Surely those would be 050. The Olav tuning would be a marketing gimmick if they don't actually use his tuning.
@@NamTran-xc2ip It sounds good. Definitely more bass. But I have to agree with the people that say the outdoor mode is pretty useless on 5.0. Sounds way worse than just turning up regular mode. Hopefully something comes out that makes outdoor mode sound good again.
Hi Brother you need to try Teufel Rockster Cross or Teufel Boomster 2021 you will be shocked they plays on another level jbl is for kids and Teufel for Mature audiences they sounds incredible
UBoom L sound signature falls apart at higher volume. The bass drops out and it gets brighter. Not a good speaker if you want to listen at higher volume levels. Charge 5 is a superior all around speaker.
Any speaker at this size does this. They don’t have enough power/speaker size to push out bass at higher volumes. But yes the charge 5 performs better at higher volumes when it comes to bass
@@pickyaudio that's actually wrong. The similar size Tribit XSound Mega holds it's sound signature very well throughout the vol. range. Hope this helps. 😉
Yo tuve el jbl xtreme 3 pero me parecía bastante exagerado el tamaño del dispositivo en comparación con nivel de volumen que manejaba. Ahora que tengo este uboom L estoy encantado con su calidad de sonido y nivel de volumen. ☺️
When comparing outdoor, the uboom actually sound a little more in the face and efficient. The jbl may be louder but sounds very spreaded and wide, therefore it's sound is felt less compared to the uboom. So at just half the price, the earfun beats the jbl anyday.
Hey mate thank you for making these videos and may I suggest a comparison video between Earfun U Boom L and Soundcore Motion+? Because they both have left and right stereo channels and price is around same when Soundcore has sales.
Oluv already did this comparison if you check his channel. He did it with an EQ setting on the motion+ that was recommended by Alan Ross and then there was a little catfight between the two.
if you love bass, louder, has better soundstage go with motion+ if you want some clean and pleasing sound but have none that i mention above go with uboom L
The Charge 5 still does have noticeable latency for TH-cam videos (>100ms delay). UBOOM video mode on lowers down to ~75ms, which is right around that 80ms sweet spot
100ms is small, there is barely any difference when we compare just 30ms. Anyway, you get two ubooms so it can better match charge 5 and then you're forced to use 500ms uboom latency
@Picky Audio Click pwr and bt button simultaneously for few sec and speaker will read the firmware version, version above 0.4 have the correct tuning from Oluv, otherwise you have to use some windows pc and update the speaker...
@@pickyaudio my goodness please tell me you updated or have oluv's tuning already. At this time I would think you have it already from the factory. 0.41 and more is good from an audio pov. 0.40 is not. Latest fw is 0.45 I think but 0.41 or more is good
@@pinroshan020 Oluv goes above and beyond to provide clean, unaltered samples of the headphones/speakers as you would really hear them, how is he biased? He's the only review channel on youtube that actually lets you (sort of) listen to the product before you buy it with direct back and forth comparisons. He definitely has strong opinions but for good reason, a lot of overhyped tech is sold at twice the price it should these days when proper tuning on cheaper equipment can sound just as good if not better.
Thanks for making it very clear whether the speakers are stereo or mono. Not many reviewers bother with this anymore.

Best speaker. Got 2 of them. Sound is comparable to most high end speakers
What speaker? Jbl or earfun?
@@markfrederick5012 he meant earfun
I personally stick with JBL when it comes to speakers but after seeing this, it's clear they aren't the best out there in value
What a treat. Never expected you to get this earfun speaker 😊

Strangely, I prefer the sound of the Uboom, especially outdoors 🤔

Hi Brother you need to try Teufel Rockster Cross or Teufel Boomster 2021 you will be shocked they plays on another level jbl is for kids and Teufel for Mature audiences they sounds incredible
I never knew how good the charge 5 sounds until you compare it to uboom its more open the uboom is a little bit muffled for me
And in person it is very muffled. I returned mine. Much preferred my Flex. Sure it’s twice the price but worth it for me.

Nah most small speakers definitely lose a lot of bass at higher volumes. But I have not tired the xsound mega 🤔

Keep up the good work on the channel. 😊

Umm, it lowers to a little more than that in video mode only. The workaround is to use an aux cable.
100ms is small, there is barely any difference when we compare just 30ms. Anyway, you get two ubooms so it can better match charge 5 and then you're forced to use 500ms uboom latency
as i cant buy the uboom L on the country i lived, i just settled to another charge 5 same as the color u have, a grey and a black
Great speaker! Enjoy 😊
The 2 uboom does better than 2 charge 5, but if one unit charge 5 slightly better
uboom win. real audiophile sound. more pure. jbl. BASSSSSSSSSSSSSS. :V
I prefer a stereo speaker!. Te Uboom is great! For sound quality and price!
Nicely done.. thank you..
I'm Bangladeshi. 79$ best. Nice review.
Great Video!!👍
Thank you 😊
Thank you for another great comparison! 👍
No worries 😌
Idk if you updated the firmware on the Uboom but anyone who knows something about speakers will realise that Earfun is way more refined.
I didn’t know there was a firmware update. Was this on the IOS or android app. I checked the IOS app but saw no update
@Picky Audio Click pwr and bt button simultaneously for few sec and speaker will read the firmware version, version above 0.4 have the correct tuning from Oluv, otherwise you have to use some windows pc and update the speaker...

Good review. I won't buy any of these because of lack of SD slot for SD card
Sakumini is best for you if you concern about sd card.
@@renofumi28 ok. Thank you
Why the f would you need SD card in speakers?
Picky....... my friend!!
Des! 👋
Uboom vs jbl ?
10:00 song?
UBoom l was better for price & jbl charge 5 was winner comparison this two speaker 😊
Uboom sounds better jbl somewhat more base and lower sound quality.
Hummm, it is apparent to me neither unit is Kangaroo Approved since I did not see any roos rocking and jiving to the speakers.....
😂
I don't see any inflatable roos in the frame either. Suspicious me thinks.
60 USD
I expected the speakers to VOMIT during the first "song" (GARBAGE)
Jbl Charge 5 🤩🥰😍👏👏👏💪
